Learn English
English
is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Thousands of millions
of people are putting in their heart and soul to learn English these days. Each
tutor teaches differently, each student learns differently. We, at engtuto.com,
do not discard the fact that learning English Grammar is essential to learn
English, but at the same time we believe that no native speaker of any language
has had to learn grammar of his/her native language. So, we believe that
learning Grammar is of as much importance as practicing the language.
Ask
yourself if you ever felt the need to learn the grammar of your mother tongue?
If not, then how come you speak your native language so confidently and so
fluently. It’s probably because of the fact that you were raised in the
atmosphere wherein your native language was one of the most used languages to
communicate; which means you learnt your native language by practice not by
literally learning.
In
order to learn any foreign language, learning grammar does not suffice,
one has to have an atmosphere wherein most of the communication happens in the
language you want to learn. Is it practically feasible? if yes, great! If not,
you must try things listed below to learn English. We are sure it
will work for you.

Grammar is the system of a language. Grammar of any language is not as
complex as we think of it. Engtuto.com is a complete English grammar guide.

each chapter….MORE…

PHRASES AND IDIOMS
It is essential to know idioms of the respective language for sounding
Like a Native. No matter how much time you spend learning the grammar, the
rules, or enhancing your vocabulary, you are not going to have a strong mastery
in the language until you learn things from the real world. In real world, in
English language, idioms and phrases are used quite often. So if you’re really
serious about learning English well, your major area of concern should be
learning idioms, because they’re used a lot in conversational native English
speech. The biggest problem with learning idiom is that one cannot deduce
the meaning of idiom despite knowing the meaning of each word the idiom
consist. So, it is very important to know that almost all idioms are
based on some analogy or metaphor, so one has to understand the subtext.
You must spend some time focusing on English idioms to have a command in
English language. MORE
